Director of Sales

The Role

Git Kraken is seeking a highly strategic and execution-focused Director of Sales to lead our sales organization through its next phase of growth. We have transitioned into a Content-Led Sales Assist model and are now looking for a leader to drive this strategy to completion, tuning the process for maximum scale and efficiency.

The successful candidate will be a high-impact Player-Coach who maintains a personal sales territory while professionalizing the sales process. You will be responsible for leading from the front—modeling excellence in the sales cycle while leveraging your expertise in Hub Spot and your experience selling Software Engineering Intelligence (SEI) solutions to expand our footprint within the Mid-Market and Enterprise segments.

We are committed to having an inclusive and authentic work environment where unique perspectives, skills, and backgrounds are celebrated. We work hard to foster diversity in our workplace and encourage people from all backgrounds to apply. Even if you don t meet 100% of the requirements, don t let self-filtering and imposter syndrome get in the way of a great fit.

We would love to hear from you!
